When she heard his answer, she heaved a silent sigh of relief and put her fork down.
“Let’s talk upstairs.”
Turning to the children, she instructed, “Finish your lunch before you go off to play.”
Archie and Benny nodded vigorously.
Roxanne rose to her feet and shot Lucian a look. Getting her hint, he complied by getting up and following her up the stairs.
They both came to a stop at the balcony on the second floor, one after another.
Roxanne said nothing as she was wondering how she should start the conversation.
Even after Estella had admitted to her mistake and apologized, she still couldn’t believe that the little girl was capable of committing such an action.
